Two advisers to Bangladesh’s interim government, Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan and Mahfuz Alam, have submitted their resignations to Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus. However, the resignations will not take immediate effect, as the official election and referendum schedules for the 13th National Parliament have yet to be announced. Environment and Water Resources Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan explained that one of the resigning advisers intends to contest in the upcoming election and therefore cannot remain in a non-political government. He will complete pending official duties before the schedule is declared. The other adviser’s future political plans remain unclear. Hasan added that the interim government has introduced several legal and democratic reforms during its tenure, and their success will depend on future political practice and the results of the upcoming referendum. The Chief Adviser will decide who will take over the vacated ministerial responsibilities once the resignations become effective after the election schedule is announced.
